这个现象从win 11 24H2开始出现，一直延续到现在，每个ventoy版本都发现过。在win10上没发现这个问题，同样的U盘在24H2上识别困难，在win10上可以正常的速度识别。
问题跟电脑没有关系，即使是新安装的操作系统没有联网也会这样。经常出现用来安装系统的ventoyU盘在安装过程中一切正常，但是进入系统后，反而因为识别问题需要等好久才能使用。
在网络上见到过不少这个问题的帖子，但是似乎都没有给出明确的答案。]]> 如果对U盘直接重新分区抹掉ventoy，则U盘一切正常，插上就可以正常使用，不存在识别难度，但是一旦重新做成ventoyU盘，则立刻复现此问题，即使是刚做完的空白ventoyU盘也是这样，跟里面放置多少iso没关系。

I would like to know if it is possible to view its contents when booting the USB drive with Ventoy.
Please note: I only mean viewing the files, not running them. I am aware that I can view the contents simply by opening the Misc Software folder, but to do that I need an operating system to be running.
So, if I need to check what the above-mentioned folder contains, I can’t do it directly from Ventoy.
I would like to know if there is a procedure to do this; otherwise, thank you anyway for reading this far.

I am trying to boot a Ventoy USB drive in UEFI mode using QEMU with OVMF, but QEMU always drops into the EFI Shell instead of automatically booting Ventoy.
What works
  • The Ventoy USB boots correctly on real hardware in UEFI mode
  • The Ventoy USB boots correctly in QEMU using Legacy/BIOS mode
  • From the EFI Shell, manual boot works:

    fsX:cd EFI\BOOTBOOTX64.EFI
  • After running this, Ventoy starts normally.
What does NOT work
  • Automatic UEFI boot when using QEMU
  • Even when using:
    • startup.nsh
    • placed in the root of the USB
    • Clean or regenerated OVMF VARS files
    • Passing the USB drive directly as a raw block device
      QEMU still always boots into the EFI Shell.
Environment
  • Host OS: Linux
  • QEMU:
    qemu-system-x86_64
  • UEFI firmware:
    OVMF_CODE_4M.fd
  • +
    OVMF_VARS_4M.fd
  • USB drive passed as a raw block device
  • Standard Ventoy layout (GPT with EFI partition)
Minimal QEMU command (manual boot only works)

Code:
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -m 2048 \
  -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE_4M.fd \
  -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS_4M.fd \
  -drive file=/dev/sdX,format=raw
Question
Is this a known limitation or incompatibility between:
  • QEMU + OVMF
  • and Ventoy UEFI boot from a USB device?
Are there:
  • recommended QEMU settings for Ventoy UEFI boot?
  • known workarounds (other than manual EFI Shell boot)?
  • an explanation of why OVMF does not automatically detect
    BOOTX64.EFI
  • on the Ventoy USB?
Thanks in advance for any clarification.
